Known to Services started out as a documentary short about homelessness on the streets of Dublin. The project explored the fragility of life in Ireland, the statistics of country’s economic strength versus its spiralling housing crisis - and the disparity of wealth and culture that comes along with it. However, over the course of the two and a half years of its development the conflicts, stories, experiences and struggles taught some very valuable lessons, each of which with their own message about Irish society. A documentary short would not suffice. All of these messages should be shared.

Known to Services is a series of short mixed media explainer videos to be shared online for mass consumption. The project is ongoing.

-=== Logline ===
+Known to Services is a series of short mixed media explainer videos to be shared online for mass consumption. The project is ongoing.
-A documentary on homelessness in Dublin, the fragility of life in Ireland and how simple it can be to fall between the gaps. Dissecting some broad stereotypes of homeless people and uncovering some harrowing consequences of the situation.
-=== Synopsis ===
-The homelessness epidemic in Ireland is extremely serious and growing steadily. It is in stark contrast to Ireland’s recent ranking as the world’s 5th wealthiest country in terms of GDP per capita. An infuriating disparity. Known to Services will document some of the many unspoken realities of the crisis.
-One focus of the film is the fragility of life in Ireland and how relatively simple it can be to fall between the gaps. People living in lower-middle class and working-class societies in Ireland are very often living week-to-week or month-to-month, trying to keep up with dramatically raising rental prices, bills, and general living costs, with little breathing room for saving or getting ahead financially. In this very common situation it can be as simple as one or two misfortunate events or poorly thought out life decisions - coupled with a lack of a solid social support network - to within a matter of months ending up without a home and/or on the streets. There is a very real fragility to life in these most typical echelons of Irish society. Many people are a lot closer to the prospect of homelessness than they realise.
-St Stephen’s Green in Dublin’s City Center is one of the most prestigious city parks in Ireland. However the perfectly manicured gardens are in stark contrast to some of the untold stories associated with it. The area connects the stories of Aaron, Lisa, Wayne, Donal, an unnamed 19 year old who died of pneumonia while sleeping rough there in the winter of 2017, and his friends that woke up beside his body that morning. Known to Services will look at these intertwining lives while dissecting some of the broad stereotypes around people in the homeless community in Ireland.
